Regulatory Requirements for Phone Interpreting in Pharmacies
All jurisdictions that have specific regulations on the provision of language services in pharmacies for LEP (limited English proficiency) patients stipulate that pharmacies must provide some form of interpreting (oral translation) service to LEP patients unless the pharmacy staff is competent in speaking the primary language spoken by the customer.
New York Requirements
The agreement signed by New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo with New York pharmacy chains concerning provision of language services in pharmacies to individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) stipulates that the pharmacies:
“shall employ telephonic interpreter resources or pharmacy staff … to verbally communicate the instructions for use to the customer in his/her primary language.”
If telephone interpreting service is used, then:
“The telephonic interpretation service shall have available trained interpreters who speak all of the languages that [the pharmacy] can reasonably expect its LEP Customers to speak and shall be accessible to all pharmacy staff during pharmacy business hours.”
“Pharmacy staff shall access the service as necessary to ensure verbal communications between pharmacy staff and LEP customers take place in the customer’s primary language. In order to ensure proper provision of simultaneous interpretation services,the pharmacy shall be equipped with either a dual-handset telephone or any other configuration of telephonic equipment to allow for simultaneous
interpretation services.”
New York City law further clarifies that:
“Competent oral interpretation means oral communication in which a person acting as an interpreter comprehends a spoken message and re-expresses that message accurately and objectively in another language, utilizing all necessary pharmaceutical and health-related terminology.”
